Let me eat a soft meal

From a long distance, Ye Xuan could feel the hostility of the Ninth Prince's calm appearance that was about to explode. He bent down and stretched out his hand, and picked up a piece of jade fragments. The sharp fragments pierced the child's palm directly, and there was blood Scrambling to overflow from his fingers.

The child raised his head, his dark pupils were staring straight at Ye Ling, which was a bit weird.

Ye Ling took a step back subconsciously, feeling chills in his heart, stammering and sternly shouting, "You, what are you doing? I'm your imperial sister!"

"..." The Ninth Prince didn't speak, but walked towards her with his legs open, the sticky blood dripped down on the stone bricks all the way, and the person standing in front of him at this time seemed to be a life-threatening creature from hell Resent ghosts.

Ye Ling's pupils constricted, her whole body was stiff and her heart was extremely frightened, but her legs were so stiff that she couldn't move. The gloomy cold air rose from her heart and spread to her limbs. She opened her mouth in fear, her throat lost her voice, and she couldn't even scream. No, he could only watch helplessly as the Ninth Prince walked up to her, grabbed the hem of her skirt with the bloody hand holding the jade shard, spread out his hand, and stuffed the shard into her hand.

After stuffing it, he walked around the stiff Ye Ling as if he was watching, and left countless marks on the hem of the skirt with bloody hands.

After the Ninth Prince turned around, he stood in front of Ye Ling again, raised his head, Ye Ling's extremely pale face was reflected in his black pupils, his lips parted, and suddenly burst into a weird and creepy smile.

"If you want, I'll give it to you, Miss Huang." After saying this, he let go of his hand.

Almost the moment he let go of his hand, Ye Lingruan fell to the ground, screamed loudly, and ran out rolling and crawling, startling waves of birds.

Ye Xuan was also surprised by the strange development of the situation in the pavilion, and suddenly met the child's dark and direct gaze, as if to let him pass.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but before he moved, the leaves rustled, and Tai'an fell behind him and grabbed his hand.

"Let's go." Tai'an's voice was rarely tough and cold.

Ye Xuan never doubted Tai'an's judgment, and his keen hearing also heard the rustling sounds one after another in the woods, like the sound of some insects crawling, the dense movement made people's scalp numb.

Ye Xuan frowned, didn't ask any more questions, and quickly left this weird place.

Ye Yi just stood in the pavilion and watched them leave. To be precise, his eyes fell on Tai'an, until the figure disappeared into the shadow of the tree, he tilted his head in confusion.

"Your Highness!" The maidservants who had been dismissed heard the noise and ran back from the woods. The baskets in their hands contained half a basket of green fruits. They only saw the running back of the sixth princess and the bloody hands of the ninth prince. .

……

Ye Xuan returned to the tent, and before he could ask what happened in Tai'an, he was startled by a woman's scream. Someone in the forest shouted, "Help me, the sixth princess has fallen into the water!"

There was chaos in the camp.

In the evening, there was an uproar outside, and Ye Xuan asked people to inquire about it casually.

It turned out that Ye Ling was attacked by insects and ants on the way back, and was forced to panic and stumbled into the lake, and was almost washed down the mountain along the stream. If it weren't for a group of maidservants following her, she might be a dignified princess No one knew about drowning in the lake like this.

"It's strange to say," the little eunuch who was called by Ye Xuan to question said in a low voice, "As soon as the sixth princess fell into the water, those mosquitoes, rats and ants all dispersed, and there were so many people walking together, they just chased after her." When she bit her, the injured people beside her were also bitten by helping the master to stop them. It was really weird. Everyone said that it was the water ghost that fell into the water in Anning Garden earlier, which provoked the water ghost. Are you willing to give up..."

"Poor thing, I saw some from a distance, and there is no intact flesh!" The eunuch said miserably.

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, Tai'an stepped forward and gave the eunuch a handful of silver, and the little eunuch immediately backed away with a smile on his face.

Ye Ling's matter is indeed evil enough, coupled with the previous rumors in Fengyi Palace, it has even put on a supernatural hat. Although Daliang suppressed Buddhism and Taoism, there are quite a few people who believe in it. Temper denounced these remarks angrily, but was still persuaded not to step into Ye Ling's tent.

Others are also very shy.

Ye Xuan didn't believe in supernatural beings, he thought of the strange behavior of the Ninth Prince in the pavilion before, and looked at Tai'an, "The blood of the Ninth Prince attracts insects?"

The words are questions, but the tone is sure.

Tai'an nodded, "I can smell it." - He could smell the familiar herbal smell mixed in the bloody breath, although the smell was very weak, far from reaching the concentration in his blood.

Ye Xuan was mentally prepared, but he was still a little surprised when he heard the answer. It was the first time he knew that people's blood could carry this special effect.

"Nature, or nurture?" he mused.

"The day after tomorrow." Tai'an replied, "Medical bath."

Ye Xuan stopped drinking tea suddenly, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "Isn't this the herbal medicine you threw into my bath water all year round?"

"..." Tai'an looked at him expressionlessly.

Ye Xuan crushed the teacup violently, clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead popped out, he grabbed Tai'an's belt with his backhand, and the sword in his sleeve was about to slap Tai'an in the face.

Tai'an raised his head to avoid it, and handsomely took off his belt and stood sideways, before the hidden sword in Ye Xuan's hand flashed a cold light, he said here, "No."

Ye Xuan: "...don't pant for breath next time you speak, or you will easily end up worrying about death."

He rolled up his sleeves, retracted his sword calmly, flicked the water droplets on his hands, and said while getting up, "Clean up this place."

"..." Taian turned his head expressionlessly and was about to climb up the beam. He heard a few sharp sounds of breaking through the air behind him. Ye Xuan flicked the sharp and cold whip easily, twisting and dancing in the air like a spirit snake.

Ye Xuan asked him, "Aren't you going to run?"

Tai'an: "..." At such a short distance, if he can run away, master's martial arts will be for nothing.

……

The accident of the sixth princess falling into the water did not affect the spring hunting activities. The eunuchs made a bunch of insect-repelling herbs overnight and sprinkled them inside and outside the tent.

Ye Xuan was too lazy to be in the limelight, and he had no interest in taking the top spot, at most he rode a horse to see the scenery.

It is completely different from his Buddhist mentality. Pei Cheng, who obviously has no martial arts, is very excited. He leads a group of dandies to compete for the top, and insists on competing with the princes for the first place. As a result, after six days, it is always the three princesses. Crushing the game, the fifth prince, who had been taken care of by his sister and also had good martial arts, followed closely behind, making it impossible for others to even touch the corners of his clothes.

The others gave up struggling a long time ago, and only the fourth prince and Pei Cheng did not believe in evil and fought until the last day.

Pei Cheng approached Ye Xuan, "Lend me that little eunuch of yours."

Ye Xuanduan sat on the horseback and looked at the scenery leisurely, but refused without looking back, "No."

"..." Tai'an, who was about to come down from the tree, withdrew his outstretched foot, the leaves rustled, Ye Xuan glanced over from the corner of his eye, but Pei Cheng didn't notice anything.

He frowned. He heard someone say that the third princess had shot a deer and was leading people to hunt it down. He looked down at the pheasant and red fox in his basket, and gritted his teeth, "Lend him to me, I'll tell you You have a message."

Ye Xuan turned to look at him, slightly raised his eyebrows, a little interested, "About what?"

"Frontline, news from my brother." Pei Sheng said.

Ye Xuan didn't believe it, "Military secrets, what valuable things will Pei Chang give you?"

"Of course it was for my father and grandfather, but I saw it secretly. You must want to know."

Ye Xuan chuckled, "How do you know what I want to know?"

Pei Sheng was very confident, "Aren't you investigating the matter of the former queen? The person who wrote the letter is related to her."

Ye Xuan's pupils dimmed, "It seems that you know a lot."

"I don't want to know yet!" Pei Cheng curled his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly, "The more I know, the worse my death will be. I just want to be a playboy, but God doesn't allow it. All secrets are kept in front of my eyes. I think It’s hard not to know!”

Pei Cheng's tone was extremely sad.

Ye Xuan didn't know the truth, so let's just believe it, and looked at him with a half-smile, "You borrowed him just to win the championship for this hunting?"

"Why do you care so much? Anyway, the young master is useful." Pei Cheng hummed, walked into the forest, he couldn't sense which tree the person was on, he just looked around and shouted, "Li Tai'an, hurry up!" Let me out, if you don't get No.1 this time, I will make you look good!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a young man landed on his horse without a sound, his two hands went around his waist, grabbed the reins and pulled the frightened horse to a halt.

"Hiss, you scared me!" Pei Cheng furiously turned his head and scolded, "Are you a mouse? You can't even walk—"

"Drive!" Tai'an clamped the horse's stomach forcefully, the horse neighed and galloped up, Pei Cheng's scolding turned into a cry of panic.

The two disappeared behind the shadows of trees.

Ye Xuan was thoughtful: After so many years, it was the first time he knew that Taian's surname was Li.

plum.

With Tai'an's help, Pei Sheng's prey multiplied. In the end, the deer that the third princess failed to catch was ruthlessly harvested by Tai'an. Pei Sheng got his wish and became No.1.

It is already scheduled to return to the palace tomorrow. The bonfire banquet at night is very lively. Everyone is present. The order of seating is similar to that of the tents. The difference is that the emperor's left is the empress and the sixth princess, and the right is the nine princes and seven pregnant women. Yue's concubine, Ye Xuan, sat next to her.

At the beginning of the banquet, the deer that Pei Cheng missed was made into dishes and presented one by one. The venison was the same as mutton, and it had a bit of a taste. After the imperial chef processed it, ordinary people didn't feel it, but the concubine Liang, who was very sensitive because of her pregnancy, covered her mouth and thought. To vomit.

"My sister can't eat such greasy food when she's pregnant. It's better to drink more mild food." The queen said, and eagerly asked someone to bring a bowl of lotus seed soup to Concubine Liang. Let people stew it, sister, eat it quickly."

"Thank you, empress." The lotus seed soup tasted good, Concubine Liang thanked her softly, and the charming appearance of a little woman attracted the emperor to have some light dishes brought over to her.

The empress was so angry that she almost didn't break the veil, so she had to pretend not to care, mentioning the sixth princess and turning the emperor's gaze back.

At the banquet, there were a lot of cups and cups, Ye Xuan raised his head and glanced at Concubine Liang who was quietly eating soup, and saw that she had put some vegetables in the soup and ate together, in the bright firelight, there seemed to be some pollen on her sleeves.

Tai'an came over and said that Pei Sheng was waiting for him, so he looked away and got up to leave.

Ye Xuan walked all the way to the lake, and he saw Pei Sheng sitting on the grass feeding the mosquitoes. Before he got close, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Looking back, the pavilion not far away was full of wine. Empty wine bottle.

Tai'an explained, "He drinks."

Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "I didn't ask."

Tai'an: "..."

The boy disappeared into the dark shadow of the tree with a light effort.

Ye Xuan walked over, raised his foot and lightly kicked the drunk Pei Cheng, Pei Cheng fell to his feet, looked up to see him, curled his lips in disgust, and sat up again.

"It's you, where is Li Taian's bastard?"

"Hiding." Ye Xuan sat down and asked casually, "Are you old acquaintances?"

"We know each other from the past." Pei Cheng refused to admit it, but his face was full of anger. He obviously thought of something, and muttered and cursed, "Don't say goodbye..."

Ye Xuan: "...What is the news you want to tell?"

"..." Tai'an sat cross-legged in silence for a moment, and just when Ye Xuan thought that this guy was drunk to death, he said, "You know about the Jiangnan salt smuggling case, right?"

"I know." Ye Xuan didn't expect to bring this up, and frowned, "Is this case related to the royal family of Bohai?"

"It's from South China Sea and North that day, what's the relationship?" Pei Cheng denied, and reached out to pat him dissatisfied. He swung it in the air several times, but all of them were missed, and his temper suddenly came up, and he insisted on hitting him.

Ye Xuan couldn't bear to pull his hand, pressed his neck to the grass, his face could barely stop on the lake, if he moved an inch further, he would have to fall into the water, Pei Cheng was so frightened that he lost his drink Yes, my heart is beating in my chest.

The voice above the head smiled coldly, "If you pretend to be crazy again, I will send you down to sober up."

"...You motherfucker, you can't be a little patient!" Even though Pei Cheng was frightened, he still yelled. He was quite afraid of death, but people can die, and their momentum must not be lost.

Ye Xuan was not used to him, so he picked him up again, under the moonlight, the cold light was fierce, the Hidden Sword was out of its sheath, and it lay directly between his legs, his lips were slightly curled, and he asked with a smile, "Can you talk well, okay?" Wasting time?"

Pei Sheng nodded decisively, "Yes, it must be possible."
